The problem with searching is sorting the through all the answers you get!  Starting out by narrowing your search down is the key to getting better results.

== Google ==
A regular Google (Yahoo, etc) websearch is very powerful.  Remember to try it a couple of times using different words or phrases.

Google has an [[http://www.google.ca/advanced_search?hl=en&output=linux&restrict=linux|advanced linux related search page]] than can be very helpful.

== Ubuntu User Mailing List ==
To search any specific mailing list, [[http://search.gmane.org/|gmane]] is useful.  [[http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user|start your query here for just the ubuntu-user mailing list]].

== All the Ubuntu Mailing Lists ==
You can search all the Ubuntu Mailing List archives. Use a Google ''site search'' keyword [[http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=site:lists.ubuntu.com|like this]] by inserting '''site:websiteToSearch''' in your search terms.

== Lots of Mailing Lists and Newsgroups ==

== Ubuntu Official Documents ==
[[https://help.ubuntu.com/|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page.

== Ubuntu Community Documents ==
[[https://help.ubuntu.com/community|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page.

== Ubuntu Wiki ==
[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/|Start here]] and look for the search box on the top right hand side of any page.

== Ubuntu Forums ==
The Ubuntu Forums have a [[http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php|dedicated advanced search page]] as well as a simple search on the top of any page.
